HOT DOMS…SASSY SUBS…AND LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY!
This book is intended for Mature Audiences. If you don’t enjoy steamy sex scenes, this isn’t the book for you. (MFM)

Friends Phoenix Morgan and Mitch Ames spent a year trying to identify their online gaming nemesis, Athena. Their patience and persistence finally pay off, but when fate hands them the opportunity of a lifetime, it comes at a high price. When their efforts to make Athena’s fantasy come true endanger the life of close family friend, the complications are just beginning.

Aspen Meadows always regretted being denied the chance to explore what she felt was a mutual attraction with Mitch Ames, but circumstances kept them apart. That same twist of fate also cost Aspen her career as an Air Force Pilot—but as it always does, fate had a plan.
When Aspen joined the Department of Homeland Security, her first assignment was a high level security clearance for Phoenix Morgan. Playing his on-line games seems a natural step in her investigation, but what she eventually uncovers surprises everyone. Can Phoenix and Mitch keep Aspen safe when she becomes caught in the crossfire?

The fourth book in Avery Gale’s Morgan Brothers of Montana series highlights the strength of family…whether it’s the one you were born into or one you’ve been lucky enough to find.

A big SHOUT OUT to all of the readers who have let me know how much they enjoy my books....you all are the reason I love writing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for you support!

Writing is an escape from normal - which bores me to distraction. I'm sure my family would assure you I haven't even been in normal's neighborhood in years so I probably don't have a real solid grasp of the concept.

I like writing characters that are flawed, but lovable. And I like creating strong women who aren't afraid to speak their minds to the men in their lives.

I also love hearing from readers! Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and avery.gale@ymail.com are the best ways to get in touch with me. Let me know what you like and which characters you think should get their own stories!

- Avery Gale -

From an interview in 2017:
"I don’t share a lot of personal information simply because I live in a small town and the genre I write doesn’t appeal to everyone.

My educational background includes a combined degree – psychology-criminal justice-sociology and a teaching certificate for secondary education. Lots of various jobs, something common in rural communities because there isn’t much available, so you need to be flexible."

started the prairie wind series a long time ago but for some reason got waylaid and didn't finish book one .. did read and enjoy knights of the boardroom though and fully intend to read her entire catalogue.
picked up book 1 of the morgan brothers and couldn't stop reading but this one is my fave of this series.
family seems to be the focus of every book i have read by this author ... yes, there is very hot sex, great bdsm reading; mayhem and danger; snark, sass and a whole lot of fun but it seems that the men have strong biological familial ties and the women have had to overcome adversity to find their places at the side of these strong men and in most cases that adversity was a soul destroying childhood. the network the women build in their new families and friends are truly inspiring. really compelling reading that i have thoroughly enjoyed

Loved Phoenix, Aspen, and Mitch

Cece's husband Cam, stepped in and recommended her for a job with homeland security. Her first assignment was an extensive background check on video game designer Phoenix Morgan.
Playing games on line with Phoenix as part of her research, has tapped something she has missed flying and has her falling for him fast. When she realized that Mitch Ames, the operative she connected with while helping the Barns, was not only a gamer, but also friends with Phoenix, she wants to connect with them both.
Phoenix has a stalker, who has been using the game to find Phoenix. Aspen has been trying to find him while protecting Phoenix. His stalker is smart. Aspen is heading to Montana, to Phoenix and Mitch. Her in is through the Mountain Masters Club. Her best friends, Kyle and Kent West have smoothed her way.
Phoenix Morgan and Mitch Ames have been hunting the elusive Athena for almost a year. They now know her name. Their friend Nate Ledek, owner of Mountain Masters, has passed along her file, and is turning over her training to them. Her fantasy, they plan to make a reality.
Phoenix 's stalker is now targeting Aspen. A close family friend of the Morgans is mistaken for Aspen. Calia has Aspen's back.

A fun fast paced and steamy MFM BDSM romance. A cliffhanger ending.

The story line and characters are amazing and kinda carry on from previous books. The big problem I have with AG books is her editing errors. Alot of sentences with extra or missing words. Simple spelling mistakes. Her books are expensive so the errors show lazy proofreading that readers have to pay for.

Let the games begin

Phoenix and Mitch have spent a lot if time seeking the gamer named Athena! Can they catch her before the stalker after Phoenix can do her harm?
Book 5 should be packed with a real thrill ride for sure!

And we’re on to the fourth Morgan brother, Pheonix, and his friend Mitch. Mitch was also in the Prairie Winds series as was our heroine Aspen Andrews. For those of you who want to make a mad dash back to your e-readers and check this out, it’s in Cameron Barnes Book, Accidental Trifecta. I’ll sit and wait if you want to go check…..(whistles)

As you may know, Pheonix has been trying to hunt down his mysterious Athena for the past year, his online war goddess, as has Mitch. Mitch hasn’t realized that it’s been the woman he’s been pining for all along, Captain Aspen Andrews. (you know, petite, brilliant, can’t cook, ect.)

They end up together of course at Mountain Mastery, club where the Ledek brothers reign. (Now there’s a pair of Doms who need a book or two.) Aspen/Athena has come up with an elaborate fantasy (which was really awesome to read, I really love role play!) and Pheonix and Mitch have decided to reenact it for her. But of course, trouble strikes. (doesn’t it always?) And Aspen needs to be protected. We also get to meet the couple in our next book. Ciara and Kip. Based on his actions, Kip has some growing up to do, and fast!

I love Avery Gale's strong female leads and Aspen did not disappoint! She has been able to hold her own with growing up with the West brothers as best friends, the Air Force males and now the Morgan family and friends. Phoenix and Mitch have finally found their gaming nemesis and are not about to let her go now.
I also love that the love of family comes shining through Ms. Gale's books. The characters may not be blood related, but you're still family and family watches out for and supports one another in good times and bad. They may come across the country to give a hug or down the hall to give a lecture to smarten up but they got your back.

Phoenix Morgan and Mitch Ames have wracked their brains trying to figure out who Athena was. Athena bested them routinely while playing games Phoenix had created. When they finally figure out Athena is Aspen Andrews, she shows up practically on their doorstep. Already half in love with her the two Doms set out to fulfill her deepest fantasy. Unfortunately, Aspen has unwittingly brought trouble to their doorstep but to her two men her safety is paramount. To Phoenix and Mitch, Aspen is a goddess and deserves to be cherished. It's a hard sell at times but the finally convince her that she's worth and she's theirs.

Love Conquers all

I love this wonderful series. I can't tell how much fun it is to get more scenes from some of my favorite characters. I love the friendships and family dynamic. They are all so engaging and mischievous.

They subs keep them on their toes. It's always a pleasure to read about their love and growth as couples. It's refreshing to she strong alpha males brought down by courageous bratty subs that make their souls shine.

I highly recommend this beautiful series.

Hmmmmm

I loved everything about this book,EXCEPT, the ending. I totally was not expecting to be left hanging until the next book,so I'm disappointed in the end, and in wondering how long we have to wait for Kip's story.

Great read

I would have given this book a five cause i typically love Avery's books, but for some reason this one had a ton of grammar errors and those detract me from loving any books.

Needs an editor

I enjoy the books of Ms. Gale. However, her editor allows the same errors to slip through in each of her books. If you are able to ignore editorial flaws, you will find this book as enjoyable as the others in her series.
